VAF (Flemish Audiovisual Fund)(link only in Dutch) has announced the members of this year’s assessment committees (entertainment and serious games / compulsory education). Most of the members have been active on the committees for years, but a few new names have been added to the list as well. We’ve summed up all of the members below, including a tidbit of information about their background with games.

We would also like to remind you that VAF is hosting a showcase event in Brussels (location TBC) on April 27 to show off some previously funded projects(link in Dutch only). The people behind VAF will be there and of course FLEGA will be present as well. You are more than welcome to join us at the event. More information will follow soon.
